A small, low-resolution photograph of a badly worn backglass in a wooden frame, with much of the paint flaked away to bare tan wood. At upper left a curved band reads Million, with arcs of blue score plaques reading 900,000 and 800,000 across the top and 700,000, 600,000, 400,000 and 300,000 stepping down the left. The title TEMPTATION arcs across the upper right in pale blue-and-white capitals. A woman in a red two-piece swimsuit with blonde hair rides a surfboard or leaps through white foam at upper right. Two women in blue and light blue swimsuits sit or pose at left, and a small figure with yellow streaks is near the centre. Lower down are a few small scoring plaques and a patch of blue at the bottom edge. Colour is mostly faded.
